BEST MINERAL SITES FOR DEER!!!! - WHITETAIL OBSESSION OUTDOORS
Minerals for deer is a very controversial topic because if you listen to 10 people they will all tell you something different. There is so many granular mineral companies on the market its insane. Why is there so many? Its because people have been brainwashed by watching tv hunting shows and celebrities telling the public its how you grow big deer. You see a hunting show dumping something on the ground and then killing a giant buck 30 mins later. There is so much the public don’t know about Tv shows its insane and i wont go into that because there are still some good ones out there!
Granular minerals are very popular for reasons i just mentioned above.People feel that connection when they dump it on the ground and they get a picture on there camera. I have done this for years thinking i was doing good because that’s what everyone else was doing. The fact is no one can prove that works. There has been so many studies on granular minerals and no one can say 100 percent with proof it works. Even QDMA says there is no scientific evidence it works. Google Qdma and you will see for yourself.
I am by no means a expert on this topic but as i get older i get smarter and i like using common sense. The fact is dumping minerals on the ground does nothing except get you a picture. If that’s what you want then use it but don’t think you are benefiting anything!
Most people are lazy. Sorry but facts. Your average hunter goes to there local store buys some crap you dump out and they are like a kid in a candy shop and that’s fine! Do what makes you happy. Yes you can kill a big buck on top of a mineral hole 100 percent. Straight mineral deer wont touch its to bitter. That’s why companies add all these flavors and salt so its tasty to them. It Becomes candy! Just like me and you like eating cake from time to time its the same to deer its a little treat. Doesn’t mean its healthy its just a snack!
If you sit back and look at nature and pay attention to what deer do in the wild everything will start to make sense. Think of all the monster GIANT bucks that were killed hundreds and thousands of years ago that we don’t know about. Think of all the produce that was grown hundreds of years ago and how healthy it was. Everything now is GMO and so depleted of nutrients. You would have to consume 10 times if not more quality food then you would of 100 years ago because the soil is so depleted of micro nutrients. This is also a major reason why humans are so unhealthy. We are lacking nutrients because all the food sucks!!!
Deer are browsing animals by nature. They eat 4-6 pounds of actual food a day. Majority of a deer’s diet is green and growing plants. You also have woody browse, shrubs, briers, acorns and some fruits. Eating 4-6 pounds is a lot of food! Years ago there was wayyyyy more food available If you pay attention typically there is a browse line in the woods as high as deer can reach. You will see the ribs showing on the deer, the hide looks horrible and just look unhealthy overall. Why is this? Well its because they don’t have enough quality food.
Typically the biggest deer killed in the US is in non baiting states. HMMMMMMM? Everyone wants to help. Hunters are bad ass people. Most of them anyway. We want to truly help wildlife and benefit deer. The fact is the only way you can help deer and other wildlife is producing more quality food. Timber stand improvement, prescribes fires, food plots and so much more. When you do that you are truly benefiting everything. Deer will have more green and growing plants, woody browse, forbes and native browse.
Deer need tonnage to get bigger. High protein food on a daily basis. Most of the country deer simply don’t have enough of it. That’s why you see so many hunters practicing land management and food plots.
Deer get minerals through food!! Again deer get minerals through actual food. All that green stuff you see out in the woods that’s growing in the soil is food. The soils have been so depleted over the years and lack micro nutrients the food that deer eat just isn’t quality anymore. Its enough to let them survive but its not enough for them to thrive! All the minerals that’s in the soil get transferred to the plants. The plants cant suck minerals out of the soil if there isn’t any there. Most browse falls below the protein level of 14 percent. Depending who you ask or what study has been done deer need a minimum of 14-16 percent protein to maintain there health, body size and antler development.
So again deer get minerals from the plants and the plants get them from the soil. This is how nature intended and its in the correct form. Just like vegetables growing in the soil and the soil giving the minerals to the vegetables and we consume them. For example when you buy a bag of food plot seed and it says 30 percent protein. It will never be 30 percent protein if the nutrients aren’t in the soil. That’s a big misunderstanding when it comes to food plots. The soil has to be corrected for better quality forage. Food plots are a big part of growing deer but its also important to have quality natural browse to your land.
The reasons granular minerals don’t work is because its not how nature intended its not in the correct form. The correct form is from green and growing plants. TONNAGE!!
Antler grow has taken these same minerals that’s in the soil and turned them into a liquid. This liquid is sprayed on natural browse and food plots that the plants actually ingest with the sticker and Surfactant already added. We are adding the minerals to the plants that they cant get from the soil because they are not there.
